What an Ending!! - Review written on June 04, 2008
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5

This final installment of the series is superb. My only complaint is that it is too short! I just want this show to keep going!

Once again, the show deals with those difficult female dilemmas: marriage, babies, happiness, and being alone (rather than being lonely) in a modern, feminist city (or are we already post-feminist?). But we also watch them tackle romance, balance, and serious health issues.

In perfect SATC style, each issue is presented with respect and kindness, served up with honesty, and a healthy does of laughter. Each woman has her own demons to struggle with, including each other.

But the series ends well, and in my opinion perfectly. Everyone is where she should be!

(As for the extras, I watched them once, and will probably never see them again.)
Great Show, but the Packaging Needs Work - Review written on April 14, 2008
* * * *
Rating: 4 out of 5

Sex and the City is a fabulous show and this is one of the better seasons. I've watched these DVDs over and over, and while the episodes are always entertaining, the packaging leaves a little to be desired.

The plastic case that all the DVDs come in starts to fall apart at the edges after opening it up several times. And there's no episode guide inside, so if you're looking for a particular episode, you'll have to put each DVD in your player to look for it, or search the web.

I still recommend buying it though, because it's one of those DVD sets you'll watch over and over again. I feel like I got my money's worth, even if my cases do need some tape to stay together.
I So LOve Sex and The City - Review written on February 11, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

I so love Sex and The City. I have all of the series and I just can not get enough. It is such a true story about women and I can relate to all of these women in the show. I think that the show should have never being canceled because that means that I have to find some other show to watch and that is hard to do.
OK, is NYC the "Fifth Lady" OR is it Carrie's boyfriend?? - Review written on December 22, 2007
* * * *
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm referring to the bonus materials on Season 6, Part 2, which includes two superficial tributes to the creator, writers, cast and crew of SATC. Someone (Darren Star, maybe?) says that NYC is "the fifth lady". Elsewhere in the same tribute, is a clip of Carrie saying she's been on a date with NYC for 18 years, "and it's getting serious." Ah, it was the Fleet Week episode. As she walks away from the visiting Louisiana sailor who really didn't care for NYC, she says, in a voiceover, "I can't have *no one* [sic] talking s--t about my boyfriend."

I must say, in the tributes, Sarah Jessica Parker looks far more beautiful than Carrie did in all six seasons.

I took a star off because of the too-frequent commentary by the insufferable Kathy Griffin (and really, once would have been too much). Really, what was she doing there? Or, for that matter, Ivanka Trump or Heidi Klum?

If you were a series fan, this is obviously something you want to buy. People say different things about the finale, but I thought it was just perfect, extremely emotionally satisfying.

One of the commentators I did enjoy was series semi-regular Mario ("Anthony") Cantone, who made short work of women who come up to him and say "I'M CARRIE!!!" His comeback isn't repeatable here, but I wish he'd repeat it to certain posters on the SATC board at imdb.com.

The entire series is a blast. It's even better when you have the luxury of watching it on DVD.

And Stanford Blatch is still adorable.

Sex and the City - Season Six, Part 2 is an emotional and heartwarming conclusion to this absolutely wonderful show. So glad the movie version will be out in May but until then we can watch these great episodes again and again. Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon won much deserved Emmy's that year. Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis also sparkle the last season as well, Samantha is diagnosed with breast cancer and falls in love with Smith, while Charlotte becomes a mother to a King Charles Springer Spaniel and a baby from China. Chris Noth returns as Big to finally win Carrie back and we learn Big's first name! and Miranda marries Steve and they purchase a house in Brooklyn. Hard to find a show where all six seasons are brilliant and never jumped the shark. I highly recommend this gem!

A lot of my friends didnt like the whole russian thing, but I like it..i thought he was very complex and sort of hot, I got what Carrie saw in him..frankly, I could never quite understand what Carrie saw in Big, I mean he treated her poorly, he made fun of all of her boyfriends in the most immature way, he cheated on his wife with her, he left for California when she needed him most, I was not surprised how the show ended..but does anybody believe that that would last?...COME ON!!..I liked the Miranda story line, it was touching and i was glad she was happy at last..as for Charlotte, well, she got her Park Avenue apt. and a guy that made lots of money, so I guess she was happy, as shallow and sad as that is...as for Samantha, she got the hottest man I have ever seen, so she ended up on top..as always..this is a good ending for the series, but I liked the first half of season six better than the last half, not that this was not very good..but the first half of season six, is a classic...oh and frankly, dont bother over paying for this ..just do like we all do and buy the box set..it's so worth it..

What can I say? I bought all the "seasons", enjoyed them all but the finale is not that surprising really. I always knew Carrie would end up with Big. That's what we - presumptuous & hopeless romantics - would want to see, right? Moreover, it's also amazing to watch all the characters seemed to have moved on except Carrie's - which explains the upcoming movie perhaps? I hope this flick will satiate my frantic quest for that absolute finale. Truly, I have more thrills and stimulation watching the early seasons as the storylines do live up to its title.... Sex and the City. (Onya, Samantha!!!!)

I have been an avid fan of "Sex and the City" since it began. After purchasing this last season, I was able to complete my entire collection. I really enjoyed the commentaries of the actors, producer, writers, the wardrobe person and many others who contributed to this successful show. I was also intrigued by the alternate endings and thanking God that they chose to go with the ending presented on the final episode. This series has been an absolute treat!

Oh great irony!!! - Review written on May 30, 2007

After making me watch Sex and the City with her, my wife astutely observed that at the heart of this show is a great irony. Touted as a "breakout show" lauding feminism and female empowerment, Sex and the City ironically only managed to portray women as more shallow, superficial, petty and empty-headed than virtually any other television show in history (thank creator Darren Star). Far from challenging whatever backward notions might remain that women are not men's equals, all watching this show would actually do is effectively confirm everything about women that misogynistic chauvinists unfoundedly believe, especially but not limited to the beliefs that women are silly, adolescent, juvenile and totally unencumbered by any burdens of logic, adulthood or maturity. Great progress.

Tiring quickly of Carrie Bradshaw's infantile and meaningless ponderings--"Is New York all about change?" "Are new myths required for singles?" "Is life in Manhattan like a bagel with cream cheese?" Here's one: "Is life really all about perpetually asking meaninglessly vacuous questions and then posing witty but ultimately arbitrary responses?"--one is left to wonder what exactly happened to her in childhood that so effectively stunted her emotional development, seemingly forever cementing her personality at about a sixteen/seventeen-year old emotional age. Are we supposed to pity her that "Big" treats her like a little kid, regardless of the fact that she disturbingly acts like an unbalanced little child? I would say no, especially in light of the fact that in real life "Big" and Carrie would probably not be together in the first place.

Another of the show's many absurdities is the foursome of friends that comprise its main characters. Let's face it folks, unless these girls grew up together (and in the show they didn't), these four women would NOT be friends in real life. They would hate each other.

There are only so many men in New York, half being gay, that can be slept with, even for Samantha, who's insides must be made of old shoe leather, so it was fitting that this series died quickly instead of being dragged to death for another year. This was a comedy, although some say the truth is often said in jest, that really showed how truly stupid women are. No wonder men rule the world. Enjoy!

This 3-disc set contains the final episodes of the TV serial: Sex and the City. Each episode showed originally on TV, but each episode here is greatly expanded in length and depth as compared to the TV versions. First, there is a lot more sex, with the requisite nudity, often by Samantha. Second, there is more emotion; we see emotions frayed to levels not seen in any of the TV serials. An example is the argument between Miranda and Carrie before Carrie heads of to Paris. Third, the relationships are more fleshed out, and we get a better explanation of why certain individuals act the way they do. The plot lines stay the same though, and so do all the endings. Even the TV show ends the same way as it started, with Carrie and Mr. Big together. The special features are nothing much to speak of, except for interviews with all the actors and actresses. Overall, the five hours or so of the show are fairly comical and quite enjoyable.

I gave it 3 stars... the show itself deserves 5. HBO deserves 1. They did this with Sex and the City and now the Sopranos. After getting their loyal viewers to purchase the first 5 seasons, they split the last season into 2 parts and sell it at full price because most people will buy it after they already have the others. I'm going to Ebay my Sopranos DVD's.. I refuse to encourage this selling practice.

There is nothing that I don't love about this DVD set. I can't help wishing that the seasons could just go on and on forever. Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlote are such great friends that you want to be there with them at the coffee shop hanging out. From the first episode to the very last, I was glued to HBO, waiting for what happened next. With my DVD collection, I am able to go back and visit again and again.

As I expected Carrie ended up with Mr. Big. Though not all of us might like this, but it definitely happens in a real life. We date someone, brake up,date someone else and only then we understand that we are still in love with that first someone. The show is still funny and interesting. Sex is even greater and there is even more problems that the girlfriends have to face.
Surprisingly good for a bunch of happy endings...! - Review written on May 17, 2006
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5

I usually dislike happy endings because they usually just don't feel REAL but simply contrived, manipulative, and cliche.

Well, the season finale of SATC was a bit too HAPPY/rose-tinted for my tastes but, hee hee, I have to confess to mostly enjoying it despite the sometimes way too heavy-handed symbolism (Carrie with her necklaces, especially).

Chris Noth ("Mr. Big") as always, steals the show. This man has incredible screen presence/charisma and really ought to be in more projects.

David Eigenberg ("Steve") finally is given a chance to show off other sides of his character in the season finale, and we see that he truly is an accomplished actor, not just a very "aw shucks" impossible-not-to-like down-home Brooklyn boy.

Mikhail Baryshnikov puts in a solid performance as he has in all of his episodes, but his character does not change much.

The only weak moments was Carrie's breakup speech towards the end of the finale, which seemed way too written and overextended her finite acting abilities.

About the only thing I will not miss from this show is seeing some of Carrie's fashion disasters...she dresses beautifully half of the time, and the other half of the time just makes you wonder, "What in the hell is she thinking???" But that's a truly minor complaint, for a smart, witty, often hilarious and poignant show that has very very few peers in today's TV desert.

I grew to love Sex and the City by watching the DVDs, as I do not subscribe to HBO. It's a funny, well-written show, and season 6 is no exception. My ONLY beef with it, is that I do not like the chemistry between Carrie and 'the Russian,' so I found myself wanted to FF through most of their scenes. The rest of the storylines are extremely satisfying though- all the ladies finding happiness and discovering more about themselves through each episode. And the reunion between Carrie and Mr. Big at the ending is MORE than satisfying!

Okay, I loved SATC up until the end. At the very end, the magical moment, the very happy closure, all 4 of them end up in relatively serious relationships with men. I am disappointed. Why can't one of them just be by herself and happy? Do we really need any more pressure to co-exist? So, I am left with the 1938 classic Gone With The Wind to reassure myself that single women can still be happy and look forward to tomorrow (Never mind that Scarlett is already plotting to get Rhett back.) Anyway, it was entertaining along the way but I truly wish it had less of a Hollywood symmetrical ending. Oh well, you can't always get what you want... but this was certainly what I needed along the way so I give it 3 stars.
